A la cuisine hier: Rugelach -- a Yiddish cross between a croissant and a mince pie. What's not to like? Simon has eaten about a gazillion already.

Looks just like a roll of Refreshers to me! Or that's what we call them in the UK. Even the packaging looks the same...
certainly the lettering and colours!!
Refreshers are wonderful!!
Sharp, effervescent, frooty...
terrible for the teeef!!
But why are these called lollies in 'Stralia??
And talking of "terrible for the teeef"...
and probably for the ill fitting of trousers...
those nasty looking little Rugelachs look very dangeroos....
The recipe looks very nasty... as do the suggestions on the bottom bar!!
Strawberry ones, honey ones...
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! 'Liscious!!!
The fact that these ones have abricot in them makes them even more dangerous!
I think I remember watching Ina
make these on her show and wishing
I could reach through the TV for
one. She uses butter like it's
water. Wonderful use for your
walnuts.
Tim: no idea why lolly means sweet in Australia, just as I have no idea why it means icy pole in the UK.
Sheila: I'd only vaguely heard of her. I found the recipe, as you guessed, looking for things to do with walnuts.
Susan, a lolly doesn't mean an icy pole... it applies to anything on a stick that you can lick [except toffee apples]...
so ice lollies can be covered by by the description, be they ice cream covered in chocolate or fruit puree...
or assorted coloured ices on a stick...
but the long sticks of frozen "flavoured" coloured water are called icepops.
